Torrent Falls Re-Opened To Public Climbers

Posted July 28, 2008 at 9:00 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Been itching to send one of those classic 5.11 or 5.12s at the Red River Gorge’s Torrent Falls Crag? Bummed that is has been closed to the public for the better part of 1+ year? Well, those days are over. Sort of. Torrent Falls has been re-opened to public climbing, however the re-opening comes with new rules in place to help limit problems that led to its closure in the first place. Climbing will only be allowed on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, and you must register day-of. Visit the new Torrent Falls website for more information.

Muir Valley

However, calling it a sub-area of the RRG is somewhat misleading as it is actually an entire destination unto itself. Spread over 400 acres of beautiful land and home to over 250 routes (and growing), it has quickly become one of the most popular places for climbers to visit since it opened a few years back. Recent new from Muir Valley inspired the most recent Climbingnarc.com ad revenue redistribution.
